The O'Reilly Factor 4/20/16 - Bill O'Reilly Donald Trump Full interview, is Bernie Sanders campaign over? Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton wins New York Primary, Donald Trump wins New York Primary on Republican side and Hillary Clinton wins New York Primary on Democrat side "Secretary Clinton's big victory in New York yesterday knocks Bernie Sanders pretty much out of the race. Barring an indictment over the email situation, she will represent the Democratic Party. Donald Trump also scored big and it looks like he will get the Republican nod. Talking Points does not see a way for the GOP establishment to stop Mr. Trump, even if he doesn't have the 1,237 delegates needed to be nominated on the first ballot. So I must admit that I am stunned. The two most shocking political stories in my lifetime are the assassination of President Kennedy and the rise to political prominence of Donald J. Trump. History will record that this was an uprising, a movement of the people supporting a candidate who has absolutely no ties to the political establishment. Republican voters are so angry they don't care what Mr. Trump says about other people. They don't care if his programs are controversial. They simply want to hear his message stated in a blunt way. Trump's strategy has been brilliant in mobilizing support, but it has also put him in a position where most Americans view him unfavorably. The Real Clear Politics average has Mr. Trump's unfavorable rating at 65%, while Hillary Clinton's is at 54%. Those numbers can come down because now it's really a one-on-one race. That being said, Bernie Sanders will likely hang in because if Mrs. Clinton is indicted, he'll be in line for the nomination. I also expect Ted Cruz to compete energetically in the remaining primaries and John Kasich to at least make it through the Northeast primaries that come to a head next Tuesday. All in all, tall cotton right now for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Like them or not, you have to give both credit for entering a very tough arena and coming out victorious." The Factor welcomed Donald Trump, who analyzed his huge win. "I don't know why you're so surprised," Trump said, "I've had victories my whole life. I would say I'm not surprised because this is about jobs and the economy. My message to 'make America great again' has been a great message from the moment I announced. I love the process, I love the people, and this country has so much potential that we are not using." Trump also opined on his high negative ratings. "I was being hit from every angle, so I had to be very tough and in some cases nasty. Now it looks like we are in good shape to make it to the end and take on 'crooked Hillary.'" The Factor lauded Trump for his unprecedented political rise: "What you have accomplished has never really been done in this country. You inoculated yourself against all the negative ads and publicity by being a unique presence in the political arena." End of the Line for Bernie? Bernie Sanders is on the ropes, perhaps even down for the count if you prefer another boxing cliché, after being trounced by Hillary Clinton in New York. Fox News correspondent Ed Henry reported the latest from the Democratic race. "I spoke to Sanders campaign officials," he said, "and they're still talking like they could go on a run in Pennsylvania next week. They're also talking tough about how they can flip some of these super-delegates, but there is little evidence of that. The Sanders campaign seems to be in a bit of denial. Hillary Clinton really needs the millions of Sanders supporters who are not enthused about Hillary Clinton."
